गंभीरास्फोटनिर्ह्रादजगद्धृदयकंपनः । प्रच्छाद्य गगनं सूर्यप्रभां सर्वां व्यनाशयत्
gaṃbhīrāsphoṭanirhrādajagaddhṛdayakaṃpanaḥ | pracchādya gaganaṃ sūryaprabhāṃ sarvāṃ vyanāśayat
Dengan gelegar dan dentuman yang dalam, menggetarkan jantung jagat raya, ia menutupi langit dan memadamkan seluruh sinar kemuliaan sang Surya.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative frame)
Scene: A colossal asura-generated storm: the sky blanketed by dark clouds, thunder bursting; the sun’s glow extinguished; below, the battlefield dims as if under an unnatural eclipse.
Adharmic force is depicted as eclipsing light itself; dharma restores clarity when the ‘sun of discernment’ is obscured.
